Scamming The Scammers: Using Ai-created Fake Victims To Disrupt Criminal Business Model

Macquarie University cyber security experts have invented a multi-lingual chatbot called Apate, designed to keep scammers on long fake calls and reduce the amount of people who lose money to global criminals every year. The AI-driven system creates convincing fake victims in the form of multi-lingual chatbots, and the idea came to Professor Dali Kaafar while having lunch with his family when a scammer called. The team now has patents pending for this highly-effective technology, and they are excited about the potential for this new technology to actively break the scam-calling business model and make it unprofitable.
